1959Siheyuan, a Turnaround

However, just now, he had already searched the area within a ten-meter radius of Sixth Grandpa's house.

What was surprising was that under the big tree in front of Sixth Grandpa’s house there was a jar of wheat buried, which looked like it weighed only about fifty kilograms.

Li Weiguo couldn't help but wonder if Sixth Grandpa knew this secret?

After all, fifty kilograms of wheat can be exchanged for a lot of coarse grains, which can definitely feed Sixth Grandpa, an elderly widower, for several months.

With this doubt, Li Weiguo continued to wander around the village.

You wouldn't know until you turn it around. When you turn it around, you will be surprised to find some good stuff.

It turned out that he found a small jar of copper coins buried in the southwest corner outside the dilapidated old house of the village chief's grandfather.

It looks like it was made during the Qianlong period. The copper coins inside were sealed off from the air with oil paper and are well preserved.

This old house has obviously been abandoned for a long time. Li Weiguo guessed that perhaps someone had hidden it on purpose in the early years!

In order to make it easier to find the item in the future, he placed a piece of dirt as a mark at the location where the item was hidden.

He planned to go home and ask his grandfather about the origins of the old house before considering whether to dig things out.

When passing by his second grandfather's house, Li Weiguo was really thirsty, so he went to his house to drink water.

Second Grandpa is not at home now. Only Second Grandma is at home. When she saw Li Weiguo come in, her face froze for a moment, and then she warmly invited Li Weiguo into the house.

"Weiguo! You finally came home, why don't you have lunch here? Even though we don't have much food at home, we can definitely give you something hot to eat!"

If he hadn't seen the sudden freeze just now, Li Weiguo would have thought that the Second Grandma was speaking the truth.

After all, Li Weiguo is not the fifteen-year-old original owner, so he still has the ability to observe people's words and expressions.

"No need, Second Grandma. I just want to drink some water."

"There's plenty of water at home, just wait for Second Grandma to bring it to you!"

She seemed to be afraid of something and quickly ran to the kitchen to pour water for Li Weiguo.

But when he went out again, he almost couldn't help but burst into cursing.

It turned out that while he was waiting for his second grandmother to bring water, he unconsciously checked out his second grandfather's house.

This time, his second grandfather's house really opened his eyes. Not only did his family hide 30 kilograms of grain, but they also had more than 40 yuan in savings.

Li Weiguo knew the situation of his second grandfather's family very well. The most likely reason why their family had so much food was that his grandfather secretly provided them with it.

As for the money, you don’t have to think about it to know that it must have been earned by my second uncle by crying poor in front of my grandfather over the years!

My second grandfather has three sons and one daughter.

The three sons have already started their own families and have separated themselves to live on their own.

I only have my second grandfather's youngest daughter to raise with me. Logically, it should be time for her to get married, but for some reason she has never found a husband.

My second grandfather was a lazy and greedy person, which was why he separated from his sons so early.

The families of several cousins ​​lived in poverty, and there was definitely no one who supported Second Grandfather, so Li Weiguo was so sure that the things in Second Grandfather's house were taken from his grandparents.

He really didn't intend to spy on his second grandfather's family situation when he went to his second grandfather's house this time.

He ate two steamed buns before going out and forgot to drink water. As a result, when he walked near his second grandfather's house, he felt extremely thirsty and just wanted to go in and get some water to drink.

What he didn't expect was that he had an unexpected gain this time.

After returning home, he decided to have a good talk with his grandfather.

After all, there is an old saying: "Help in emergencies, not in poverty."

Second Grandpa is already this old, Li Weiguo can’t always let Grandpa help him with his life!

Besides, the current situation is obviously that Second Grandpa has squeezed out a lot of food and savings from my grandparents' teeth, but my grandparents are reluctant to eat or spend them.

Just then, a thin and weak girl came towards them.

She was wearing a tattered dress and her hair was a little messy, but her face had an unhealthy yellow color but a sweet smile.

"Brother Weiguo, you are here!"

The girl walked up to Li Weiguo, lowered her head slightly, and spoke shyly.

"Yes, Sister Wei Lan, where are you going?"

Li Weiguo looked at the shy girl in front of him and a smile appeared on his face.

Li Weilan is the daughter of Li Dahu, the eldest son of my second grandfather. She is beautiful, kind and hardworking.

Li Weiguo grew up with her and she is his cousin in terms of seniority.

"No...it's okay, I just happened to pass by and saw you here." Li Weilan blushed and lowered her head, fiddling with the corner of her clothes.

"Oh, I see. I just went to my second grandfather's house to have a drink of water. Are you going to my grandfather's house?"

"Well, the food at home is almost gone, and I don't know what to do. I want to borrow some from my grandparents." She raised her head, a hint of worry in her eyes.

Li Weiguo's heart tightened after hearing this.

He knew that Wei Lan's family situation was not very good. Uncle Dahu was in poor health and could not do heavy work. His aunt earned work points alone, and there were three children to support at home.

Li Weilan wants to go to her second grandfather’s house to borrow grain. Will they lend it to her?

Li Weiguo began to have doubts. He just learned that his second grandfather's family had more than 30 kilograms of grain and more than 40 yuan. He was very curious whether this sister Wei Lan could borrow some grain from his second grandfather's family.

"Wei Lan, you go first. I have something else to do. Let's talk when we have time!"

"Well! Goodbye, Brother Weiguo!"

Li Weiguo walked forward with big strides and stopped at the corner of the house in front of him.

I squatted in the corner and watched Li Weilan walk into my second grandfather's house.

Less than ten minutes later, the sound of second grandmother cursing was heard from second grandfather's house.

"You damned money-loser, you still want to borrow food from me? You haven't been filial to us in these years, get out...get out quickly..."

"Grandma, please be kind and give us some food! Our family has been out of food for several days, so I'll just lend you a small bowl."

Li Weiguo could almost completely imagine the scene when Li Weilan begged Second Grandma for help: she might kneel on the ground, tears streaming down her face, begging Second Grandma to lend a small bowl of food to Uncle Dahu's family.

And that abominable second wife, clearly had thirty kilograms of grain in her hands, but she was so cruel that she was unwilling to lend even a bite to her own son!

I only heard the second grandma yelling mercilessly: "You still want to borrow a small bowl? There is not even a mouthful! Get out! Get out of here right now..."

Immediately afterwards, there was a loud "bang" and the second grandmother pushed Li Weilan out of the door and then slammed the door shut.

Poor Li Weilan stood alone at the door of her second grandfather's house, sobbing softly.

"Wow..." Her tears rolled down like beads that had broken off the string.

"You damned money-loser, get out of here now, don't get in the way! If you dare to stand at the door again, I'll beat you up!"
